As part of World AIDS day
today, ONE National Gay & Lesbian
Archives, acquired last year by
USC, is launching a campaign to
encourage people who have lost
loved ones to AIDS to come forward
and give testimonies as well as
donate victims’ personal records,
including diaries and medical
histories.
ONE National Archives is the
oldest LGBT organization in the
United States and has the largest
repository of LGBT material in the
world. USC Libraries acquired the
organization’s archives last year
and has maintained them since.
Christopher Freeman, a
professor of English and gender
studies and a member of the board
of ONE National Inc., said the
campaign aims to make its archives
more personal.

Members of the National Union Healthcare
Workers, nurses of the California Nurses Association
and employees of the Keck Medical Center of USC
protested USC administration’s lack of contractual
negotiations at a candlelight vigil for patient care
Wednesday night outside the Keck School of Medicine
of USC.
Tension between the administration and
caregivers began in August 2010, when employees
asked management to stop short-staffing because
of its negative affect on the hospital, according to an
NUHW press release. Caregivers took further action
when contractual changes were not made.
NUHW hosted a strike Oct. 12 protesting the
administration for limited employee benefits and
a proposed one-year wage freeze, said Leighton
Woodhouse, director of communications for NUHW.
Alex Corea, a respiratory therapist at Keck Medical
Center of USC and member of NUHW, said the
candlelight vigil is meant to send a different message
to the administration than the October strike.
“After the strike, which was pretty chaotic, we’re

Student Affairs said it wants to make sure
new members of the Greek community have
a residential experience next academic year,
as the university plans to have all freshman
and sophomore students live in residential
housing with residential advisers.
Michael Jackson, vice president for
Student Affairs, said the university is still
working to make sure Greek organizations
don’t schedule chapter programs on
Tuesdays so that the residential advisers
will have a day where all Greek students
would be available, though sororities and
fraternities have been required to do this
since the beginning of the semester.
“We want to have at least one night that
can be used by the resident faculty and
professional and student staff to conduct
programs without worrying about students
having to participate in mandatory
programs in chapter houses,” Jackson said
in an email.
Interfraternity Council President Pat
Lauer said not having social events on
Tuesdays this semester has helped integrate
the freshman and sophomore members of
the Greek community so they can contribute
to other campus activities more effectively.
“[Not having events on Tuesday] is the
norm now and it’s a good thing,” Lauer
said. “It’s given the younger guys a chance
to branch out and do things they normally
wouldn’t have done and participate in
campus activities they normally wouldn’t
have participated in.”
Despite beginning the semester with
a social probation, the Greek community
has grown stronger in several other ways,
Jackson said. The Greek community has
focused on new member education as most
fraternity and sorority chapters have had
100 percent of their new members complete
GreekLifeEdu, an online course for the
Greek community similar to AlcoholEdu,
according to Jackson.
“We have made sound progress,” Jackson
said. “It is important to remember that
working with the Greek community is
always a work in progress as almost 25
percent of the membership turns over each
year, so leadership development, transition
of leadership from one set of leaders to
another and new member education are
incredibly important to all chapters and
systems.”
Lauer said IFC and Panhellenic Council
will continue to work to improve the Greek
community by focusing on its new members.
“We realized that if we want to effect
change we have to start from the ground
up,” Lauer said. “That’s why we focused a
lot of programming with the new members,
the freshmen and the sophomores, who
will carry on our legacies. There has been
a huge focus to foster more activities so we
contribute more constructively with the
university.”
Jackson said the new member retreat,
held in September, will be offered to those
in the Multicultural Greek Council and
National Panhellenic Council chapters
next year and that there are also plans
to develop an assessment tool to better
understand the overall experience of
students in Greek organizations. The
Greek groups focus on new member integration
Student Affairs said it is pleased
with the changes on The Row since
the beginning of the semester.
